- Oh NO!!!! WAS THIS HOT DOG HALAL?
- No, I Don't think it was halal, but I think it was kosher.
- Thank you so much, I was so worried
- No problem, may I ask why you were so worried?
- Yes! In my religion of Islam we have dietary laws known as halal. This word mean permitted in Arabic.
- Wow, that's great! Good things Muslim can eat kosher foods as they are both very common. Both diets have specific rulings regarding the slaughtering of the animal, and both restrict certain types of meat!
- Wow, I am not a very practicing Jew, but I would like to learn more. What are the differences?
- Wow, we also have these laws in my religion known as Judaism. These laws are called kosher. In Hebrew this means fit or proper.
- Yes, there are some differences. Firstly, Halal permits you to eat many edible aquatic animals, while in kosher most seafoods cannot be eaten. Alcohol is not allowed in Islam, while it is allowed in Judaism. Lastly, meat and dairy cannot be eaten or kept together in a Jewish household, while it is permitted in Islam.
- Wow, there are quite a few differences, but it seems that they are the same at heart! How do these beliefs impact your life?
- These beliefs do impact my life as they are a fundamental part of my religion. Allah has repeatedly emphasized this in Quran with verses such as, O Messengers, eat from the pure foods and work righteousness. To many Muslims, it is a great way to adhere to Allah's rules.
- Wow, that is extremely similar to Judaism! Jewish people believe that God commands kosher laws. Moses taught these rules to God's followers and wrote the basics of the laws in the Torah. By eating kosher food, some Jewish people believe it helps them feel connected to God.
- Sigh, if only one day, Halal and Kosher meat will be widespread, so I don't have to worry about whether or not my hot dog is halal.
- Bye!
- That is so true! Preparing meat in both a Kosher and Halal way, has no overall effect on the taste of the animal itself. If we implement what you said in modern society, then this will make people want to learn about these religions, leading to more inclusivity in society!
- Anyways, I have to get going!
